Ever since I switched to using custom ROMs, the phone's battery usage seems to be significantly affected. I initially used AICP, the battery life was pretty good. But then I flashed Temasek's CM13, followed by Ressurection Remix. Since I started using these 2 ROMs the battery seems to be draining even when the phone is idle for a while. Anyway, please comment about the battery life of the ROMs you all are using, it'll help me choose a ROM. Thanks in advance!
Colour os for me!
Colour os rom seemed to me the best battery runner!
does it have the CM theme engine?

No ROM has ever given me more than about 2,5 hr SOT. I guess OnePlus X battery is quite bad. Only way I crossed 3 hours was watching youtube from 100% full time.

There is something wrong with your battery or the way you use your phone.
All ROMs had given me more than 3.5/4 hours SoT, the stock ROM is about 4:10, cm-13 about the same, purity ROM gives the best battery life, I managed to have almost 5:30h, but the average is 4:30. I´m going to try temasek´s ROM and see if it´s good.
I would say just stating SoT without describing usage pattern and usage screenshot is not really wise.
There are times I get 7hrs of SoT as well as 2.5hrs SoT.
It all boils down to what you are using your phone for along with what tweaks you have implemented.

Just updated to OOS 2.2.1 and I can say that the battery usage is much improved. Had to unroot, change from blu spark kernel to stock kernel on 2.2.0-x for updating. Battery life on stock kernel is as good, if not better than blu spark.....

bro you can hydrogen os ,.., It is the best bettary support for me so far ,.,,
Haven't got the update on my OPX.
Have the phone for a week now and battery life is really Bad.
Is there much improvement with the update ? (2.2.1)
Bttery seems to be more or less the same on all roms, what makes most of the difference is kernel...
btw does anyone use another rom (except oxygen) that has working noise cancellation mic? Because i see people in many threads saying there are complaints of noise when in calls...

I concur. In my opinion the kernel is more important than the ROM you are using.
Bluspark is also my choice.
So, to get a better batterylife you have to flash that kernel ?

After updating ICS i root it straight forward, and experience the poor battery life, I waited 3 weeks and calibrated many times, and turn off all the unnecessary services as suggested in the different forums but result is same, before ICS, i was happy with 3 days battery life, but Now, it just keep the juice for 1 day that sux!
Notice, Android system is taking all the juice and its keep "Awake" why not in sleeping mode ? when not in use.

I recomend you to use this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521309,because default ICS kernel suck. I'm using I-Scream build 10 (which is a lite version of Nordic .562 FW) with this kernel,and battery drain is about 2% in 4 hours.Also,you should make different profiles (with setcpu),for example when screen is off set profile to 122-460 mhz,conservative mode.

Can we use that kernel on official ICS and locked bl and is there any fc, problem with wifi or bug?
Sent from my Neo V with supercharged ICS ^^
yes,it works with official ics. If you don't have wi-fi issues,flash it dirrectly,but if you have wi-fi issues install first this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609617,don't boot after install,and then flash Inteks kernel (without booting between installs). I'm using it on MT15i,and i don't have any lag or wi-fi issue. I don't know if it works with locked bl,because i have unlocked bootloader.
I think after update (wipe) phone is collecting info about battery and some other stuff, that's why your phone is awake all the time or maybe some app drains your battery?
Take a look at my stats.

Stock ICS shouldn't drain so much. Do a clean flash again.

Stock, clean ICS doesn't drain so much.
If it does, ether some modifications are made, or something is messed up while flashing.
Op. You said you've disabled some services and calibrated many times have you thought of just letting it settle.
Flash again, rather than trying to undo everything that you've done. This time give it a couple of days to calm down then investigate if needs be.

I am coming from MeanRom, which was fabulous.
MeanBean is very good too, but my battery life is miserable now. Looking in the battery stats the only thing that looks unusual is the Internet (meaning the browser app) is at 36 percent of the total battery usage.

I'm on MeanBean .5 and my battery life, albeit not better than MeanRom, is not that bad. My internet usage reading is 8%. I usually don't leave my 3G/WiFi on all day and I only turn it on when I want to check something or get a MMS. I guess that's why my battery life isn't nearly as bad as yours on MeanBean.
So sounds like your battery life is about the same? Are you using the new kernel or the old one?
Yeah I would make that assumption. I'm using whichever kernel Mikey included in the Rom, which I'm assuming is the JB kernel because the ICS kernel won't work. I try to stay away from other kernels because the kernel Mikey includes in his Roms is usually tweaked to work specifically for his Roms.
Disable Google now, don't fill up every home screen with widgets, reboot and give the kernel a day to settle. That should improve your battery life to almost ics levels
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I don't use Google Now, nor do I use any widgets other than weather. Hmmm...
Anyway if Google Now was the problem where would that show under battery usage statistics? Anyone know?
Thanks
Something else to keep in mind is that MeanROM included Mikey's custom kernel, which was a big contribution to the fantastic battery life.

because it always keeps the cpu active,phone just doesn't goes into deep sleep,so that's how it affects the battery life,
but yes on the other side there wll be no reboots.
I was just wondering, then why not lower down CPU freq every time you sleep your phone? As in, lower it to most lowest freq. Yea it won't go to deep sleep but at least no random reboots and battery drain.
Since I don't have this MI3 as of now, you guys can try by installing SetCPU and do some profile settings.

The same bug....After unlocking your bootloader, it expend 1% battery per hour even screen is off.
Many Z5c has this bug, someone said it could be due to different batches of the problem.
You're doing much better than me, I get 4 hours max before the phone is dead, 5-6 hours on a good day. I have to quick charge at lunch time to get me through the workday.
I come from a rooted Z1 Compact. I'm used to 23-27h charges and 5-6h screen on time. Also I'm used to 10 or more custom ROMs and lots and lots of development and user posts! I can't understand how the Z5 Compact can be in this situation.
On top of all I've finally unlocked my bootloader without backing up my DRM keys and now I'm trying to go back to a stock kernel to see if I can remove the Android OS and Android System wakelocks...
I've underclocked my CPU down to 1.3/1.45 Ghz and still I'm not even close to my Z1 uptime.
Is there a way to go back to the stock Marshmallow kernel with DRM patch easily?

Still the same problems. Even though I managed to reduce the active time during sleep and wakekocks, the phone uses too much battery while ideling. Lost almost 15% overnight.
Gesendet von meinem E5823 mit Tapatalk
Well I ended up with a 21h charge last night (3.5h SOT, 23% screen off discharge). I'm not impressed too, so I decided to flash a stock kernel with DRM Patch and compare battery life.
What I really do not like is a phone that will end up shutting down after 1.5 -2h after reaching 10%. I was used to my old Z1 Compact and being out with 7-10% battery and not worrying about my phone ending up dead.
So, I'll report back later!

Batt drain is huge when idle, 10 or more % overnight.
Gsam app (with adb permissions) says screen and system() are the highest per consumption.
Should I install eu rom (which)?
Or maybe the 1st rom for this device V12.0.2.0.RKIMIXM ?

Had a tough time trying to downgrade to 12.0.2 but finally did and battery I think is alot better.

So, yeah... its 12.5.5 that's screwing our batteries up?
Oh I forgot to mention also that I did use xaomiADBFastboot tools to remove the unwanted bloatware like the services and apps. I did this on both firmwares.
While using stock i noticed a few things . Each update was using more battery. Remember two things.. we have a good processer with a medium to small battery in keeping with it's design so we shouldn't expect the same battery life as the other "thick" xiaomi models. Having said that . I flashed a custom rom and without gapps the phone can last 2 days using camera watching videos and with Bluetooth on listening to music .So if you want decent battery. Start by not updating..using miui is like using google x2 ...so xiaomeme and google are sucking juice with processes under "system" and it is also what's causing heating . Apart from not updating, you must debloat and also root to disable certain gapps and xiaomi processes you can't without root. Next you absolutely must go through all the apps permissions and disable auto start and background battery and data for stuff that are not essential when you're not using your phone. THIS SAVES A HUGE AMOUNT ..just killing backgrounding of google application will save you a few percent. So that's all, no secret sauce . Just kill all the unnecessary background data and battery and auto start or disable google gapps and xiaomi stuff you don't use . Obviously you can see from my post that to get great battery you need to run pure aosp or lineage gsi using gapps replacement like nanodroid and fake store . If you don't want to go that far ,use lineage with minimal gapps and tweak the apps permissions and backgrounding . You will solve heating and battery issues. The problem are the gapps and xiaomi applications getting updated with each incremental update. I have tested on benchmark applications that each update is a little lower in points ..not much but a little worse. So be careful of updating. Sometimes xiaomeme is not refining stuff before making changes to new releases. and you need to imagine just the miui theming on top of aosp is already gonna use battery and processor. So that's my experience with the battery.. Obviously our screen at max brightness will kill our small battery quick, so try to be conservative and use autobrightness . You must also select in cellphone network to use 5G battery saving option. So when you don't use the phone it drops to 4G or 3G to save battery cos with each incremental G the network or gsm and sim suck more battery juice .Try to remember how hard people got hit when we went from 3G to 4G. We had to increase battery sizes quick....
use this application with root to get "better battery stats" ...the name says it all
